Title: Inletting Stock
Post by: FRJ on January 11, 2011, 04:59:55 AM

I have got together all the parts I need to build a Hawken rifle. Took me 40 years and now I need someone to inlet the stock for me. Can anyone recommend someone to do this chore for me. I do have the prints to make it from. Thanks, Frank

I will need the barrel and lock inletted and the ramrod hole cut. I will also need tenons installed on the barrel. Thanks for the help, Frank

Dave would be a good place to start.  Not sure where you're located, theirs others that do great work as well...

Look in the archive's for barrel tenons, bet you could do those yourself.  I know it seems a little scary if you've never done them, but it's not difficult.  Guys here will be able to help...
